I've heard people saying he's 63,64,62... I've read in an Elf CD he was born in '48 but it's written that it's not for sure...

I believe he's 62, but I wouldn't swear to it. In any case, the man's been making records a long long time...

I heard Ronnie is a little older than Mick Mars.

Ronnie's age has been a subject of CONSIDERABLE debate over the years, and still is...NOBODY knows for certain, except for Ron - and he's not telling. I've seen bio's that place his birthdate anywhere and everywhere between 1934-1946.

At a minimum? Over 60. The maximum? REALLY close to pushing 70.

Fear not, loyalist Dio-heads - I have a strong feeling that Ronnie James Dio signed a contract some time back ensuring YEARS AND YEARS of continued Dio'isms...long after we've all lived through our NATURAL lifespans, Ronnie's \,,/ will, perhaps, still be gracing the world...

Insert evil, scary satan music here...

Hovering somewhere around 60, to be sure. That little dude has been around for a long time. He has talked about growing up and being in high school around the time of various 1950s teen idols, so I figure the dude was probably born somewhere around 1940.

One friend of mine told me that last year in House of Blues in Orlando he himself told he was celebrating his birthday and that he (my friend) was pretty sure he mention 65.

But don't take it for true....remember that English is our second language so Dio should be talking of any other stuff that he remember from '65 and my friend asumes it was his age.

Anyway I saw him in february and damn me he looks old!......but still rock!!!........and better that Ozzy
